Ch.10 Old Friends

Meanwhile Cater and Joel had been looking for Dana everywhere not knowing she had returned to Mariner Bay.

"Leo! Leo!" Maya came in shouting.

"What is it Maya?" Kai asked his friend, concerned.

"Kendrix she's been taken!" She shouted upset.

"What? What do you mean?" Leo asked as she rushed over to his friend.

"She went out for a walk, and I decided to check up on her, she was about a block down when a van pulled up and grabbed her." Maya said agitated. Leo bolted out the door even before Maya got to finish her sentence. Damon, Tommy, and Kim all ran after him. They all got in the car and drove in the direction of the van.

"Carter we have to find Dana right now." Joel said. Carter nodded and the two spilt up. Carter had searched the whole house.

"Hey I just called Angela Dana's back at the base." Joel told his friend as Chad joined them.

"Thank Joel." Carter said. "Chad, can you and Kelsey stay here and help them with whatever you can. I'm going back to the base and set up check points around the city." Carter said.

"Sure thing." Chad said as Joel and Carter left.

"Maya, do you remember what the van look like?" Carter asked going over to Maya who was sitting down with Kai. After he got to the details he raced to the Aquabase. The first thing he wanted to do was find Dana, but he knew he had his duties to complete first. Dana knew it was late, she didn't know how late. She had been sitting in one of the rarely used lounges, thinking about everything that had happened.

"Dana?" A voice called out to her making her turn around.

"Oh hey Aaron." Dana said seeing her friend coming into the lounge.

"Mind if I join you." He asked her with a smile.

"Not at all." She said with a smile.

"How are you doing? I heard you had a funeral to go to." He asked taking a seat next to her.

"Ok." Dana lied, as Jason's word came into her head.

"Were you close to her?" Aaron asked.

"No, but she was still a friend and a…coworker." Dana said remembering that not everyone knew the former rangers identities.

"I'm sorry." Aaron said, putting his hand on hers.

"Thanks Aaron." Dana said with a small smile.

"So do you plan on staying in Mariner Bay?" Aaron asked her. Dana thought about his question and didn't really know what she was going to do. The only reason she was in Mariner Bay was to find Kat but she no longer had that as an issue.

"I don't know." Dana said truthfully.

"Well I hope you do, I've missed my best friend. Do you remember how much fun we used to have?" Aaron asked with a smile.

"Yeah you were always getting me trouble, and then we'd get stuck working together to fix out mess." Dana said smiling at him.

"No I didn't. I just wanted to spend time with you." Aaron looked over to her.

"You know this is going to sound really stupid now, but there was something that I wanted to tell you right before you became a ranger." Aaron said a little nervous as he looked away from her.

"What is it?" Dana asked encouragingly.

"Well I was going to ask you out." Aaron said shyly, Dana was then very aware of the fact that his hand was still on hers.

"Why didn't you?" Dana asked genuinely curious. They had been best friends before her ranger days and then had slowly drifted apart when Dana had become a ranger.

"You were so busy with your new team, and then you and Carter got close. You two were inseparable, you guys became best friend, and there really was no time for me after that."

"That's not true, you were so busy with your projects and I was always training. It wasn't because of Carter. And you know I'm not with him anymore." Dana told him softly.

"No you're not." Aaron replied looking straight into her eyes. They sat there for a moment and he leaded in and kissed her gently. She kissed him back but something about it made her feel sick, and she pushed him away.

"I'm sorry I…"

"No I'm the one that's sorry I shouldn't have kissed you." Aaron said. Dana felt horrible, she had thought that maybe she would feel something for him but all she saw in him was a friend.

"I never stopped loving you, and maybe someday when you're over Carter we can give it a try." Aaron said getting up and giving Dana a smile as he left.
